Title: Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR); FAR Case 2018-012, Rights to Federally Funded Inventions and Licensing of Government-Owned Inventions 
Abstract:

DoD, GSA, and NASA are proposing to amend the FAR to implement the changes to 37 CFR parts 401 and 404, "Rights to Federally Funded Inventions and Licensing of Government Owned Inventions," dated May 14, 2018. The changes reduce regulatory burdens, provide greater clarity to large businesses by codifying the applicability of Bayh-Dole as directed in Executive Order 12591, and provide greater clarity to all federal funding recipients by updating regulatory provisions to align with provisions of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act in terms of definitions and time frames.
